"I have taken Both A Photography and an Adobe Photoshop Class from Blake. Blake is Extensively Knowledgeable and Compassionate about what He Teaches I

may go into the class with a misunderstanding of a particular Subject or Topic but close with a Reassurance and Confidence in both Myself and the Subject; That is because Blake will not stop until He is assured I know the Amswer. I would Highly Recommend Blake To Anyone Who is Looking to Further Their Knowledge And Education With Great Appeciation and Grattitude, Ellen S"

About Kelvin L.

About Kelvin

I am a highly organized, outcome-driven and motivated professional musician and educator with solid experience in the classroom. For the past 25 years, I have been employed with Amati music academy and seven years on the faculty of University of St Francis. I am very comfortable with all aspects of the current music syllabus, including teaching musical concepts (such as duration, pitch, dynamics, tone color, texture and structure) as well as performance, composition. I am fully qualified, with a Bachelor of Education in Music, Double Masters in music performance and education from University of Nottingham.I am proficient in classical, jazz and Celtic fiddle violin and possess solid skills in piano (grade 8-13) Royal conservatory system. Throughout my teaching career, I have been driven to help students achieve their very best. I str

ongly believe that music has the power to change lives – to enhance the social, cultural and spiritual lives of people, and serve as a profound medium of personal expression. Professional perform experience: The Chicago, Natalie Cole, Smokey Robinson, Three tours with Moody Blues, YoYo Ma etc....The most important thing I look for in a student is communication skills, as well as talent. I like to nurture students and help identify their individual strengths, which is a key factor in shaping a musical persona that will make its mark both on and offstage. I do not advocate a uniform technique for all students. Physical differences and learning styles are always taken into consideration. Potential is as important to me as early achievements and experience. My goal is to help students become self-sufficient, discriminating artists. I discuss practice techniques often and develop individualized scale routines. I encourage initiative and expressive musicality as well as precision. Above all, music needs to bring obvious joy to the student, regardless of the difficulties.”

Rich M. August 8, 2018·Violin·In studio

Rich was happy after the first class and he started to wonder, would Kelvin be available to teach him a guitar lessons as well (we thought it is a great beginning) :)

Also, Kelvin immediately pointed out that the violin we have picked is too small for Rich, where other teacher didn't say anything about it. We changed the size and it helped a lot with holding violin and feeling more comfortable. Thank you !

Mike May 21, 2018·Banjo·In studio

Kelvin is a great teacher. He understands and teaches in a way that makes sense to me. If you’ve played the Banjo you know the teacher needs a lot of patience and he does. He provides the right direction and more importantly listens to my questions. There is no doubt in my mind if you have to learn or improve your banjo skills Kelvin can help.

Karl May 7, 2018·Photography·Online

Very pleasant , very intuitive , and very encouraging. He cares and tries hard to accommodate and customize his teaching.

About Dovile R.

About Dovile

I began teaching while studying in Art Institute. My first students were 5 to 7 yr. old kids. It was very challenging, but also very rewarding. I was teaching them skills, they were teaching me patience. Later the age of my students grew, until I ended up teaching the same students I was in the same classes just 6 months ago. Again another challenge. I love challenges and even more I love helping others to overcome them. My philosophy about teaching is that everybody can learn, it is only the way how we learn is different for different people. Another very important thing - I strive to be creative, respectful and approachable.

Blake did an amazing job in helping me understand the basics of video editing and helped me to understand the specific parts of video editing i needed for work. I highly recommend Blake and will take classes from him again in the future!

I'm a total novice and Blake is very patient and doesn't mind explaining things more than once. After one lesson, I feel like I can start putting what I learned to use already.

About Bill L.

About Bill

I have always been a self-studier in my entire life. Being able to learn with just books and your brain is a crucial skill to have! However, I know not everyone (and sometimes even myself) have the discipline and motivation to keep going during hard times. This is where a tutor would come in handy.

I enjoy tutoring and helping other overcome problems that I have encountered myself because it enhances my own understanding and makes me happy that my self-studying is helping others. Sometimes, my students even bring up alternative ways of thinking that I have never thought of before!

About Rush F.

About Rush

I'm hoping to get to work with students who want to dive right into mastering their camera and all it has to offer, whether we're shooting on film or digital, both of which I can offer instruction in. Learning to be in absolute control of your camera and how your settings will affect your photos is key to creating your images & making sure they come out exactly the way you envision them. Our time together will be a full immersion into light-writing. Over the years, I have had approximately 4 years of cumulative formal instruction on the subject, and have been freelancing since 2011, for events such as weddings, anniversaries, baby/bridal showers, graduation and engagement photos, live concerts, and just about anything else you can think of. Previously a Photography student of Daytona State College in Florida, I made the move up to Chicago

in 2015, and am currently studying at Harold Washington College. In the spring I will graduate with my Art Studio AFA. I genuinely look forward to any time spent with someone with a desire to hone their craft, and hope to bring more inspiration to those wanting to bring forth their vision. Aside from photography, I also teach a handful of other subjects that you or someone else may be interested in!

Rush is really nice and answered all my questions, he gave me tips and tricks, and different kind of photographs I could take. So if you're looking for a photography teacher then you have to give Rush a shot!

Marcela Z. January 12, 2018·Photography·Online

Really helpful.

Miguel D. December 3, 2017·Photography·In studio

Rush is awesome! He broke down the camera into easy-to-understand steps and focused on areas I was struggling with. I learned a lot in a very short amount time.

About Matthew K.

About Matthew

I have over 2 years of manufacturing experience. I've worked with teams of designers and engineers to manufacture specialized tools for assembly processes to implement LEAN methodology. My background does not come only from mechanical CAD, but also from graphic design as well as web design. It's critical to approach a design idea from more than one perspective because the end results will be well-defined. I'm a computer science student, and I'm building my CAD design company; therefore, I aim to build strong reputation and networking. To achieve my goal, I deliver exceptional and guaranteed results.

I'm a CAD designer and a consultant. I can definitely help you with your project. I will provide you with the complete 2D detailed drawings for CNC machining and other manufacturing processes. I will provide you with the 3D STEP files for 3

D printing. If you need the project printed in 3D, I will have your project printed as well. If your project requires assembly, I will make assembly drawing and STEP files. If your project requires an assembly manual/instruction, I will have that done as well. Quick

I work with a digital agency. Mainly, I use Illustrator for design and photoshop for mockups. I also use Dreamweaver to access admin files remotely to maintain internal and client websites. Part of my role at Chicago Digital is creating ads and banners.

If you are looking or guaranteed results and quality work with no shortcuts or lazy work, then I guarantee you won't be disappointed. My key elements in business are reputation and problem-solving.

Both my boys took classes in the summer and they had a wonderful time. They learned a lot, brought home great work and had information to share with me that I didn’t know! Well worth the investment!!

Emily July 12, 2018·Drawing·In studio

My children took an art camp with Vicky and they loved it! My son LOVES art so it was perfect for him. Each day they worked on something new and exciting and he brought home beautifully creative art pieces.

She was great to work with. My husband spent extra time chatting with her because she was so knowledgeable and helpful. We are excited about taking another class with Vicky, in the future

Lisa July 3, 2018·Drawing·In studio

Vicky is talented, patient and encouraging. I enjoyed painting a still-life vase of fresh flowers from her garden with acrylic paints.
